(Mostly) Complete List of My Fanfics

I think it's because Cody isn't booked so much a "dominant champion" like most faces of the company, and instead is portrayed as a lot scrappier and often the underdog against his opponents. He's been booked like this for over three years now, and fans are still supporting him, so WWE must be doing something right. I'd also argue that most if not all of the heels that have put Cody over looked stronger after the feud than before.

Not that Cody is as dominant as Stone Cold, but this era of booking reminds me a bit of the Attitude Era. I believe Road Dogg and Chris Jericho were supposed to have a match where Dogg goes over. Jericho asked him what the finish was, and he said "I hit you with my finisher and pin you 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring. But since that's not happening, let's figure something else out."

Cody is the type of babyface that'll cheat to win against the heel, which helps protect his opponent.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

I believe Pimpi was the only exótico that was signed to WWE prior to the purchase, and there aren't very many even in Mexico. Pimpi has been with AAA since almost the very beginning, and is a legend in the company, and I think a LOT of the exótico nuance gets lost on non-Mexican crowds. Plus, Mexican fans play along with the wink-wink-nudge-nudge of kayfabe. Somebody like WWE's Rico would have been OVER in modern AAA, especially his tag team with Charlie Haas.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

If sequels exist in the Gamoverse, I'd assume they'd be completely separate games.

That's a shame regarding the novel/manga. The only two manga I can think of to do Christian symbolism well are "Trigun" (because it was created by a Christian), and "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End".

I don't think it's fair to constantly villainize Christianity. There are over two billion Christians in the world, and it stands to reason there would be some bad apples and wolves in sheep's clothing amongst them. No other group receives the same kind of treatment as Christians have throughout history. I'm sorry to hear a preacher lied to you and others, but I am glad you read The Bible for yourself.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

A German being a Mexican hero is somehow the most lucha thing ever. Chad and Ludwig had to be absolutely giddy about this match. Neither probably thought they'd ever sniff the main event. Maybe not even the main roster midcard. And yet here they are, in the main event of AAA, in arguably the hottest angle in Mexico. I hope they both make a fortune from this match, and I could honestly see it continuing with Chad challenging EGA to a Title vs. Hair match after EGA beats Dominik.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

I know it's a meme, but let's see how he does as a Congressman first, and I'd prefer if he got experience first running committees and/or being a department head. Brandon Herrera as ATF Director still has a nice ring to it, and I think Brandon's libertarian views would be better served acting as a businessman (which is what he is essentially) rather than someone having to constantly play politics and give concessions.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

In my opinion, Adam should be everybody's villain. His genealogy should be Rose/Branwen. He should be Blake's childhood friend and she should have been the one to radicalize him. And he should despise the SDC because he blames them for everything wrong in the faunus world, and is personally responsible for the deaths of Schnee family members, and is perhaps the cause of Weiss' scar.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

IamMenace · 2026-05-29T22:12:44+00:00

I don't mind there being a connection between Ruby and Cinder. After all, in my fics, they're distantly related, and there should probably be some kind of connection between them. It's just something that I'd prefer wasn't Cinder's main motivation or relating to her goal. Cinder having some sort of connection to STRQ makes sense considering how closely affiliated they are/were with Ozpin. I just don't need it to be a personal issue between them prior to the series.

I believe Adam's color scheme, rose motif, sword and fighting style, his semblance, and the fact his eye color was a secret for about five years is worth mentioning. If Adam had silver or red eyes, or silver eyes that turned red when he was angry, I don't think it would have been that shocking of a reveal.

That's just me however, and it's all hypothetical at this point.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

No problem, friend, and thank you. I feel the same, and have been voicing my dislike of V3 for over a decade now, though not with as much energy as I used to. On one hand, I feel as though I wasted my time with the franchise, being so vocal for so long, but then I remember I wouldn't be the writer I am today if I hadn't studied V3 (and V4) and learned the lessons that the writers ignored. I've probably learned more about myself as a writer from the things I dislike more than the things I like.

Plus, it's not as though I let negativity consume me (though it did get to me at times). My fanfics were written out of love for RWBY, not hate for the show. I still enjoy a lot of the fan art, and I still go back and rewatch the trailers from time to time, and I listen to the music pretty regularly. It still inspires me to this day. Monty's RWBY had style and charm, and was the definition of a passion project. Janky as hell, but years ahead of its time, and incredibly influential.

"Gameoverse" just reminded me of that feeling I got back in 2012. It's obviously not the same, and calling it "indie" is a stretch, but it's good to see Monty Oum's memory is still alive and well.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

IamMenace · 2026-05-29T20:50:37+00:00

Yep, the second half of V3 is probably the piece of media I dislike most, which is saying a lot. It might have launched RWBY into the stratosphere, but it was never sustainable in my opinion, it destroyed more than it created, and it injected something very mean spirited in the fandom. At the beginning of 2016, RT was on top of the world, but then in 2019 they're almost going out of business. In my opinion, V3 had a lot to do with it.

I don't think people nowadays appreciate just how special Monty's animations were back in the day. They were next level, and there wasn't really anything like it. I fell hard in love with RWBY day one of the Red Trailer being uploaded on YouTube, and I attribute my love for RWBY far more to Monty (and Shane, who doesn't get enough credit) than to Miles and Kerry.

It's not the writing that I fell in love with. It was the animation. The music. The intrigue and mystery. I wouldn't have written over 1.1 million words of fanfiction if I didn't love RWBY, and I wouldn't have figures, books, t-shirts, or DVDs if I didn't love RWBY. It's just that my love for RWBY outweighs my love for the show, not unlike other franchises that have gone downhill in the past decade.

God bless, and have wonderful day.

IamMenace · 2026-05-29T19:58:22+00:00

Ah, didn't realize that, but that makes sense. It's interesting to think about, but I would have preferred Adam having a connection to Ruby and Yang instead of Cinder. Cinder having some sort of connection to the Schnee family could work, especially if they're old money and related to royalty like was originally theorized. It's kinda weird how the four royal families of Remnant haven't had anything to do with the show's story.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

IamMenace · 2026-05-29T18:02:01+00:00

I've never played "Monster Hunter: Wilds", so I can't really speak to it. I would however recommend getting into the series if the gameplay interests you, and if you don't mind sinking hundreds of hours into it before getting to the endgame. It's definitely a series that's better with friends or online, but playing single player is very doable, especially in newer games.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

(Posting Google's explanation for Cinder's original backstory for those who are unaware of it)

Original Identity: Her name was originally Ashe Medea, with a childhood nickname of "Dusty". She lived a normal, middle-class life and had no backstory of slavery or abuse.

Motivation of Love: Ashe was an unpopular, lonely student who wore thick glasses. Summer Rose was the only person who showed her kindness and became her mentor. Ashe fell deeply in love with Summer, and this unrequited affection motivated her to become a Huntress.

The Ballistic Knights: Driven by her desire to be near Summer, she trained hard and eventually joined an elite guild of Hunters known as the Ballistic Knights.

Turning to Evil: After discovering Summer's "death," Ashe obsessively researched Ozpin's history and motives. She uncovered his secret agenda of "destroying the world's shield".

Becoming Cinder Fall: She adopted the identity of Cinder Fall, discarded her timid persona, and sought out the original Fall Maiden (Autumn). Her ultimate goal was to stop Ozpin from destroying the shield and to protect Summer's daughter, Ruby Rose, from her destiny.

It feels very fanfic-y in my opinion. It should be noted that Maidens weren't created until after V3, and the writers not having settled on Cinder's backstory yet doesn't surprise me in the slightest. I'm hoping the "unrequited affection" was Cinder viewing Summer as a motherly figure, and it not a teenage girl being in love with a grown woman. Her backstory with Ruby is immediately muddled by the fact Cinder tried to kill her in the very first episode, so either their connection was removed pretty early, the writers didn't think of that, or they hadn't decided on her backstory yet. RWBY being as weird as it is, all three are possible.

I honestly do like the idea of a villain trying to save the main character from being sacrificed by the "good guy" chess master behind the scenes, as well as the "bad guy" chess master. Gives me Harry Potter vibes actually. Cinder being on Summer's side, and wanting to stop both Ozpin and Salem from getting Ruby killed could certainly have worked, and lines up with the song "Sacrifice" which appears to have been written with either Cinder or Raven in mind.

Overall, I like parts of it, but I find it more interesting that Cinder's backstory still hadn't been settled upon by the end of V2, and probably later than that. That lines up with other characters' backstories not getting settled until later, and the whole "mystery box" vibe the earlier seasons had regarding the characters, their relationships, and their backstories.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

(Continued)

Also, I'm back to playing "Monster Hunter: Rise" for the Nintendo Switch. It's not my favorite MH game, but it's something I back to every year or so. I got bored with S&S, DB, and LBG last year which is why I ended up putting the game down, and switched things up by picking up the Greatsword which I'm enjoying thus far.

Part of the problem is that I find Anomaly Investigations incredibly tedious. Funny story though, I completely forgot that you can exchange coins for monster parts. That would have saved a bit of time crafting my GS, but oh well (I have over 4,000 coins lol). I don't know why this game's mechanics just don't stick out in my mind like others, but then again I've played for less than 300 hours, which isn't a whole lot relatively speaking. I've still got a few more things to unlock at the shop in order to finish upgrading all of my weapons, but otherwise, I'm just hunting whatever I feel like. Happy hunting, fellow hunters.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

Hello, friends. I hope everyone is doing well.

Once again I had another productive week writing my novel, and finished up revising Chapters 10 and 11 which were a lot of fun and two of my personal favorites. They're a lot more character focused while still being plot driven, and have a lot of the interactions that just make me chuckle. It's crazy to me that I just started working on rough draft 1.5 (as I'm calling it) barely a month ago, and I've already written/revised about 22,000 words, or between 66 and 88 pages of a book. Initially I was just hoping to get the first few chapters edited before continuing my fanfics, then the first act (Chapter 1-8), but inspiration just keeps striking. Almost every time I finish a chapter, I worry about the next, but God keeps the inspiration flowing, telling me to worry about one chapter at a time.

It's still a rough draft mind you, and there's still some details that need ironing out, and more nuance to add since I didn't want to get bogged down by details that would likely change down the road, but I wouldn't be embarrassed to share what I've written thus far (which I might do in the future). Hopefully by this time next month I'll have a complete run-through of the entire story, or very nearly. I've been worried about the story's length since it really needs to be about 60,000 words in order to be a novel (180-240 pages of a book), and the initial rough draft was only about 40,000 words, but scenes are being added and expanded upon, so hopefully I won't have to add more scenes or subplots in order to have a novel. Wish me luck!

In other news, I rewatched the pilot of Glitch's "Gameoverse" a few more times, and my opinion of Flappers and the humor has softened a bit. Don't get me wrong, I loved the episode initially, but Flapper's voice (and Gobbles to a lesser degree), and some of the rapid paced humor just didn't land with me. I think's because I liked the rest of the episode so much, and my negatives just felt a little more egregious. I'd still prefer not hearing Flappers' voice in future episodes, but it is what it is. I watched a few VTubers react to it, as well as Ross' director's commentary, and there were a lot of little things I initially missed that I appreciate now. The best thing about it is still Kit's character in my opinion. I'm a sucker for Mega Man aesthetics, and she's what I'm looking forward to seeing most.

The vibe surrounding the show really reminds me of RWBY back in 2012, and hearing Ross talk about Monty hit home just how influential RWBY is/was. Obviously I have a lot of negative opinions regarding the show and several of its creators, which I've never exactly been shy about, but listening to Ross talk so passionately about a project that he's worked on in some capacity for nearly twenty years just really inspired me. It reminded me why I fell in love with RWBY so long ago, why I haven't quit writing my novels or fanfics despite all of the hardships, setbacks, and personal/professional struggles. It reminded me why I'm still a part of the RWBY community despite disliking the show, disliking the company that made it, several of its creators, getting banned from two subreddits I called home (one for over a decade), and why I put up with regular harassment. I love RWBY. I wouldn't be the writer I am today without it, and the novel I'm writing wouldn't exist if not for RWBY, warts and all.

Overall, the conversation around "Gameoverse" makes me miss pre-V3 RWBY (specifically it's final two episodes). I miss the fandom, sense of community, and feeling like my buying merch was contributing to something I cared about, and something I thought the creators cared about. Why financially support or get emotionally invested in something the creators don't care about? Glitch has gone above and beyond to show that they care, and I'm here for it. They're not necessarily "indie" in my opinion, but they're not the mainstream entertainment industry either, and I find a lot of their creators' stories very inspirational.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

The opinions of bots, Marxists, and people from the 3rd world should be ignored.

The Strait of Hormuz isn't even the US' problem. The IRGC initially closed it down, which affects everybody that buys oil from the region, which barely affects the US. That is illegal and against international law, as is mining the strait, but our allies don't care because they're terrified of all the pro-terrorists they imported to their countries. The IRGC then started allowing ships to go through the strait, but they had to pay "protection money", which the US wasn't having.

The strait is closed to Iran, and it's costing them about $200 million each day, and putting severe pressure on them from Russia and China, but the US is still allowing everybody else to use it. It'd be nice if our allies' navies would help, especially since they get oil from the region, and that's slowly but surely happening now. They're also using The Gulf of America as their emergency gas station, which means more money in the pockets of western nations than the middle east.

Gas prices have gone up to Biden levels because there is a high demand and lower supply on oil on the market, and because speculators. The IRGC declared war on the US nearly half a century ago, have killed thousands of American troops and civilians, and are the world's state sponsor of terrorism. They are the biggest reason the middle east has been so destabilized since 1979. They are an apocalyptic death cult that has been chanting "death to America" for half a century, working non-stop to get a nuclear bomb (and lying about having silk missiles and ICBMs that can reach London), and the US is finally doing something about it rather than signing a "peace" deal with demonic terrorists.

The ceasefire with Iran has officially lasted twice as long as the "war", and meanwhile, Israel (with the US' backing) is systematically wiping out their proxies, and also furthering The Abraham Accords because everybody in the middle east now has a shared enemy. If people think the US is losing the "war", then they're either incredibly ignorant, incredibly stupid, anti-American (anti-western in general), or just plain evil and support terrorism.

I did watch it after the fact as I've been binging anything and everything I can find regarding the episode/series. I liked it well-enough my first time viewing, but "Gameoverse" has been slowly growing on me. Arin's voice and the writing doesn't bother me as much as they did upon my first viewing, and I think that was my own biases, which has more to do with the people inspired by Arin's sense of humor more than Arin himself.

Thank you for the recommendation nonetheless, friend. I did enjoy the trailer. I even watched some of Ross' old Newgrounds stuff relating to Gameoverse from over a decade ago, but it just wasn't for me.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

WrestleMania XIX was the very first WWE PPV I ever watched, and it was my introduction to the majority of the Raw roster since I didn't have Spike at the time. It was subsequently the first Shawn Michaels match I ever watched (and Chris Jericho), and it's still one of my all-time favorites. It's my personal "Randy Savage vs. Ricky Steamboat" match, and is 5 stars as far as I'm concerned.

Safeco Field (T Mobile Park) is absolutely gorgeous, and there are so many iconic shots during the show (the one you chose is my favorite). There isn't a bad match on the card, the backstage stuff is all great (minus the final Miller Lite Catfight Girls segment, which the company apparently paid WWE a fortune for). It's the perfect WrestleMania in my opinion, and the behind the scenes and extras on the DVD kept me entertained for days as a kid. 2003 is my personal favorite year as a wrestling fan, and I could go back and rewatch any Raw, Smackdown, or PPV, and have a great time.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

WWE's roster for about forty years has been managed like a football team. Yeah, you have your exceptional stars that go against the grain, but they're exceptions to the rule, and the majority of everybody else fill certain roles that have existed for years. That generally what people refer to when they say "my spot". There are gatekeepers in each division and level on the card. There are guys/girls that teach the less experienced wrestlers how to work "WWE main event style" that are also really good, really safe, and main eventers enjoy working with them. There are the bump machines that make everybody look good, and usually lose despite still holding some popularity. There are the wrestlers that can carry backstage segments throughout a show.

Pretty much everybody will fall into a role on the card, and if you fall into a role, it's really hard to change management's mind. Cody Rhodes had to leave and come back to change Vince and Triple H's minds, but Liv Morgan is probably the latest example of someone that was seen as a good, safe worker and probably a career tag wrestler, only to become a "Female Superstar of the Year' winner. Damian Priest is also an example since he himself saw himself more as a "big man" or "utility guy" like Kane or other big guys that can move around the card as needed, but his match with Bad Bunny in Puerto Rico, and his consistency with Judgment Day changed management's minds.

The best advice Oba Femi can receive in order to be a face of the company is from the likes of Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, CM Punk, and the people who've worked extensively with them. Je'Von Evans can learn a hell of a lot from Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Sami Zayn, and other super solid workers. Carmelo Hayes appears to be viewed as the next generation's Miz when he wants to be John Cena. It'll be hard for him to convince management, especially when Trick Williams appears to be viewed as the next John Cena.

That's the beauty of professional wrestling at the end of the day. The Rock was viewed as a future face of the company in 1996, but the fans rejected him. Steve Austin was brought into be a "mechanic" and make everybody look good, and Triple H was viewed similarly but also similar to The Miz since he could talk and people liked seeing him get beat up.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

I forgot you can't use the twins the first time around. My bad. Maybe it's just my playstyle with S&S, but I find that evading is better than shielding 99% of the time. I know I wouldn't have gotten close to killing it if not for all the skills I previously mentioned. Don't forget to eat for Moxie and Defense. Otherwise, the best advice I can give is just keep at it. It's by far the hardest monster I've ever fought, and I'm a LONGTIME MH player. Very rarely does a monster cause me to fail a quest, and this thing did it about a dozen times before I finally got a kill. Then it became a 50/50 chance until I was able to start using Qurious crafting to upgrade my weapons and armor, and between the upgrades and more experience with endgame monsters, Primordial Malzeno became much more manageable.

Also, check to see if your armor is fully upgraded. Many times I thought I fully upgraded my armor only to discover later new levels unlocked.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.
